We have already written in one of our articles about raising children with a fairy tale. Today we will talk about the role of toys in raising a child.
What is a toy for a child? This is his first friend, interlocutor and assistant. It's the assistant. A plush toy, if used correctly, can even help in educating a naughty bully. The main thing is to know some secrets.
Secret 1 . Is your child just starting to explore the world? Buy him an orthopedic pillow toy. Inside it can be buckwheat, and small balls. The child, taking it in his hands, will sort out small grains with his fingers. What could be better for developing fine motor skills!
This animal pillow can be put in a baby stroller. The kid will not be bored traveling with such a funny neighbor. But if you take it outside, make sure that it does not fall into the mud and does not slip out of the stroller at all. It is best, of course, to have two such pillows. One is for camping, and the second is for home and for sleeping.
Secret 2 . A favorite soft toy for a child can become not only entertainment, but also help in raising a child and teaching him to discipline.
Is your child throwing toys around the house? Tell him an instructive story about how his beloved Hare, thrown on the floor, can one day be offended and lost, go to obedient children who take good care of their things.
Also the teddy bear can better teach your baby how to use the potty. You just need to periodically put him there and explain to the baby that Mishka pisses in a pot, and not in pants. Of course, this will not work the first time, but once in the tenth child will want to follow the example of his soft bear.
Secret 3 . Does your child have a poor appetite? Try to put his favorite plush Panda next to him during the next meal. And do not focus on the child himself. Feed Panda first. Show the baby that the toy is hungry and enjoys eating what mom has prepared. Your child will want to try too. But do not immediately try to complete the task to quickly feed your child. So all interest in the process may be lost. The panda must make the child believe that she likes to eat and that she likes it. So mom, connect your acting talent!
Secret 4 . A child can learn fairy tales and instructive stories not only from books. For these purposes, you can also buy knitted toys that are worn on fingers. Such a puppet theater will be a real spectacle for the baby. Heroes can be completely different. Grandfather, grandmother, Gingerbread man, turnip, wolf and seven kids. You can collect a real collection of heroes of Russian folk tales. The child, following your example, can then arrange performances himself. Why not creative development!
Secret 5 . A plush hare is easier than ever to take on the road. If you are going on a long trip, the child will need something to entertain on the road. His favorite soft animal will come to the rescue. You can sing songs with her in a duet, tell funny stories, do your hair from long hair, even play hide and seek with a toy. Time will fly by unnoticed, and the child will be satisfied.
